FIVE STAR REVIEW: 'I read this in one go; what a page-turner! Properly original, this story of the potential future of football in a world where profits matter and people don't is a truly excellent read. Highly recommended.' Customer review

2063. Top flight football is faster, more skilful and even more competitive than ever. Regulations allow players to turn pro at 15. Clubs push their players to the limit. And beyond.

Easy Linker, a gifted young footballer, lives for the game and dreams of playing for Gunman Reds, the team he has always followed. So, when his dad suddenly quits his job as a talent scout for the club and bans him from having anything more to do with the sport, he is devastated. And when, a few days later, his dad disappears without warning, it's even more of a shock.

Then Easy gets a visit from the club. Years ago, his dad signed a contract on his behalf. And now he belongs to them. They've come to take him away...
